scared to death

Through the possessed and darkening wood
By the stream of tormented screams
An equine ogress of the night there stood
Just waiting to enter your dreams

As blood red eyes of an incubus glared
Malevolently malefic demons hiss and curse
Whilst the victims of the night grow increasingly scared
As their nightmarish visions grow worse

One moment the victim is buried alive
Scratching from their coffins within
Or waiting for an unseen monster to arrive
Or running fearfully from a demonic grin

A terror, a fear, of what's behind
"I wonder what's under the bed?"
And now it's so dark, you'll think you've gone blind
As you're strangled by what's in your head

As you wake with a fright, in the dead of the night
And you cringe at the shadows you see
You then tremble with fear, as the evil draws near
Encountering something you know cannot be

You now scream from your soul, at a terror now whole
As the fumbling dead reach out from the grave
A possessed girls doll, asks you out for a stroll
So to madness you are now made a slave

But the pain wasn't right, you should be numb in the night
As you pinched yourself to extreme
You then died with fright, in the mad moonlight
As surely pain can never be in a dream
